McBilly has a good point here. Often, especially if there's significant backcourt pressure and an impending held ball situation, the new lead -- not actually real close to the on-ball action, has a better awareness of the coach's request and can assess player control from a distance. Isn't it correct that sometimes it's a "line-of-sight" issue in which the other guy actually has a better vantage point? His head doesn't have to do the periscope thing to verify the necessary elements.
